Looking for a quick and simple way to bring the cozy feeling of fall into your home? This DIY Fall Wall Hanging is the perfect seasonal project. Using an unfinished wooden breadboard as the base, a custom vinyl stencil, warm fall-inspired paint colors, and a handmade bow, you can create a beautiful piece of décor in under an hour. It’s beginner-friendly, budget-friendly, and makes a thoughtful handmade gift.
Why You’ll Love This Project
Fall decorating doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. With just a few supplies, you can transform a plain wooden board into a statement piece that feels warm and inviting. Whether you hang it in your kitchen, entryway, or gift it to a friend, this craft adds that seasonal charm everyone loves. Plus, it’s a project you can easily customize with your favorite colors and ribbon styles.
What You’ll Need
• Wooden unfinished breadboard (or any flat wood surface)
• Vinyl stencil (I cut mine with my Circuit to spell FALL)
• Acrylic paints in fall tones (I custom mixed a trio for a cozy vibe)
• Paint brushes or sponges
• Bow (I used layered ribbon and raffia for a rustic touch)
• Ziptie to connect bow
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Breadboard
Start with your unfinished breadboard. If needed, give it a light sanding to smooth the surface. Wipe away any dust so the paint and stencil adhere cleanly.
Step 2: Apply the Stencil
Position your vinyl stencil vertically down the board to spell out FALL. Press it firmly in place to prevent paint from bleeding under the edges.

Step 3: Paint the Letters
Using acrylic paints, apply your chosen fall color palette. I mixed my own trio of warm tones for a cozy seasonal look. Carefully paint inside the stencil and let dry before peeling it away.
Step 4: Add the Bow
To finish the piece, I created a layered bow with patterned ribbon, burlap, and raffia for that rustic farmhouse style. Attach it securely to the neck of the breadboard with hot glue.
Step 5: Style and Display
Your fall wall hanging is now ready to display! Hang it in your kitchen, on a wall hook, or prop it up on a shelf. It’s a versatile piece that instantly adds seasonal charm.
Tips for Customizing Your Fall Breadboard Sign
• Try different words like “HARVEST” or “GATHER.”
• Use metallic or textured paints for a unique finish.
• Swap out ribbon colors to match your home décor style.
• Make several at once for gifts, neighbor treats, or craft fairs.
